Mr.. Benno Kayton, brother of Mr.. L.
Kayton, of Hermann g. Kayton, has just
returned from Baltimore where he has been
visiting his father, a well-known optician,
who is now over so years of age. While
there Mr.. Kayton visited the Office of the
Baltimore Sun for the purpose of examining
the files of that paper for Nov %, 1S43. His
father was interpreter for the court in Bal
timore in that year during the trial of Adam
Horn, the celebrated wife murderer. The
Sun was anxious to secure a likeness of
Horn to print as the people of Balti-
more took deep interest in the
case. After endeavoring to do so in many
ways. without success, the proprietor ap-
piled to Mr.. Kayton, Sr., who was a skill
full artist, to sketch Horn as he appeared in
the dock, and he did so. It was this picture
which appeared in this issue of the Sun
of Nov. %, 1913. The Sun, re-
ferring to the matter editorially, said:
I'VE accompany the publication Of
the first days proceedings of the trial
with a wood engraving presenting an out
line of his features. 1t is copied from an
admirable sketch from the pen of Kayton,
taken in the court room" Horn, also
known as Andrew Hellman, murdered his
wife March IS, 1913, and was executed in
the presence of over $4,000 people Jan. II,

THOUGHT HE WAS MURDERED.
a Would-Be-Killed Darkey's Fright
and His Anxiety for O. Hearse

a WOuld-Be-k1Ued Ddrkey'S Fright
and His Anxiety for O. Hearse.
At 3 o'clock yesterday morning frightful
disturbance occurred at the intersection of
South Broad and Whitaker streets.
The locality is usually quiet one. partic-
ularly after midnight, when the last piano
has been closed for rest until the dawn of
the next day, The establishment and
alarm of the residents may be imagined,
therefore, when they were suddenly
awakened by a terrific yell.
"Oh Oh! Lordyl Lordy Lordy!" sonae-
body shrieked, almost before the yell ceased
to echo up and down the streets.
Half dozen windows were hastily opened
and as many voices queried;
Whats the matterl'
'Ohl Oh! Lordy! Lordy! Lordyn came
from man lying fiat upon the pavement
Two or three gentlemen slipped on what
garments they could find in the dark and
fastened out. They expected to find some
body with fifteen Or twenty bullet holes in
him, or double that number of stabs
In the meantime yells and shrieks contin-
ued to make the early morning hideous
The gentleman who arrived upon the
scene first found negro man lying ON the
pavement, apparently struggling in the
death agony.
What is the matterr the gentleman
asked.
oh Obi Lordy! Lordy! Lordy" the
negro Shrieked
who shot you"
ooh! OH Lordyi Lordy! Lordy! Send
for IA hearse!n
Are you shot! Are you cut! Anybody
knock you DOWN.
''Oh! Oh, Lordy Lordy Lordy! De Lamb
'ceive my spirit! Is a dead niggerr'
| BY this time several other gentlemen had
arrived. The negro was carefully exam
, med, but 40 sign of wound could be found
| There was not even the slightest evidence of
a bruise. By persuasion and threats the ne.
gro was induced to tell his story, which,
without embellishments, was this. As
| he was passing down Whitaker street some
body jumped at him from the corner of
South Broad and said "Booh!" He was
| frightened out of his wits, and fell upon
the pavement and set up a yelling and
shrielsing that awoke the whole neighbor-
| hood.
The gentlemen, who expected to find
somebody shot or cut to pieces, retired TO
! their homes and beds, and left tibet thought

George B. Lee Slips Up in His Little
Game of Money-Getting


Game of Money Getting.
One of the clunlsiest attempts at forgery
ON record was made yesterday by George
B. Lee, a young man quite well known in
Savannah
Late Yesterday afternoon Lee walked into
LivingSton's Pharmacy, at Bull and State
streets, and asked for Mr.. Livingston. He
had some sort of a paper in his hand, and
when Mr.. Livingston came up to the coun-
ter where be was standing Lee presented
check for $40 50 on the Southern Bank
signed by Mr.. Horace A. Crane, the banks
Vice President and drawn in favor of Mrs.
Lee, whom he said was his mother, which
he wanted caslled. Mr.. Livingston told Lee
that he did not know him, but that if he
would get the check Endorsed he would cash
it. This Lee said he could do, and he started
off to get the Endorsement.
In a few minutes he came back with the
check Endorsed by A. r. Salas. Mr.. Liv-
ingstOn noticed at once a similarity in the
signatures of the signer and indorser.
Both were clumsily written and
evidently by the same person.
His suspicious were Immediately aroused,
and he telephoned Mr.. Salas to know
whether he had Endorsed the check Mr..
Salas replied that he had not, and at once
started for the store where Lee was. He
met the young man on the sidewalk and
asked him for the paper. Lee handed it to
him, and Mr.. Salas at once pronounced the
Endorsement a forgery.
why you're not the man that backed
it" Lee explained. 1T was another man
out on the White Bluff road
A little inquiry showed that Lee worked
his game very clumSily and that he either
did not know what he was doing or else he
is very bugling fellow.
When he left the pharmacy to get the
check Endorsed he went to the Marshall
House and asked Mr. Dave Einstein, pro-
prietor of the cigar counter, to write Mr..
Salas' name on the back of the paper. Mr..
Einstein looked at the check and then at
Lee, thinking there might be
joke about the matter, but Lee
assured him there was not. He
asked Lee if he knew what he was doing
and handed the check back to him, and Lee
then got pen and placed Mr.. Salas name
on the back of the check and went ont. This
was how the Endorsement was secured and
Mr.. Cranes signature was probably obtained
in the same way.
While talking with Mr. Salas in front of
the pharmacy Lee tore the check in pieces
and threw them away. Before presenting
it to Mr.. Livingston he went into LaFar's
furnishing goods store, where be owed bill
of 81 80, and asked one of the clerks TO cash
the check and de duct the amount of his bill
He was told to see Mr.. LaFar, who was not
in the store at the time, but he did not re-
turn

GEN. ALExANDER's PLAN
Outlined Before the Pacifc Railway
Commission.

SOlntilIS5AOn.
Gen. e. P. Alexander, formerly a govern
ment director in the Union Pacific, was be-
fore the Pacific Railroad Investigating Com
mittee ON Thursday. In the two years he
was director he made three trips over the
road and attended all the meetings. He
made Investigations into the earning power
of the road and his conclusions were en-
bodied in the annual report of the govern
ment directors.
Gen. Alexander gave at length his views
on the policy of the road in regard to branch
lines. Briefly, he said, no man who has ex-
amined the country through which the road
runs could doubt for a moment that the
branch lines would be the mainstay of the
system, and were necessary to the
DEVELOPMENT of the country from
Z which the road must get its earnings. In
regard to the future relations of the gov
ernment to the Union Pacific, Gen. Aiexan-
der said that it was plain that the present
system was hardship on both sides. The
first step should be to give up an annual
payment based on any earnings whatever
md substitute therefor a fixed amount.
Under the present laws the government was
made quasi partner with the road and with
The right thereby to go into the minutest de
S tails Of its work Constant differences of
8 opinion arose in consequence that could only
be settled by long and expensive legislation.
81 To Mr. Adams Gen. Alexander gave his
previous experience in railroading and his
present holdings i'll the Central Railroad and
Banking Company of Georgia He is thor
oughly familiar with the system of con-
struction mileage in use by the roads of the
country, and ne thought the scale adopted
by the Union Pacific for its branches was
very low-that is, the branches were not
given enough.

SHORT LINE PEOPLE ENJoINED.
Judge Adams Grants an Order Agains
the DiSnOsinp of the Road

Judge Adams Grants an Order Against
the Disposing of the Road.
Judge Adams sat in chambers yesterday
to hear the arguments on an injunction
asked for by the creditors of the Savannah,
Dublin and Western Short Line Railroad
Company. There were several cases against
the railroad on the acceptances of drafts
drawn by w. II. Ferguson q Co. pending
in the City Court. The cases would have
been tried on Tuesday last but Screven and
O'Hagan, who claimed to be sub-contlac-
tors under Ferguson, obtained from the
Superior Court temporary order restrain
ing the plaintiffs from prosecuting their
suits. The creditors have now gone
before the Superior Court and
asked for an order compelling the railroad
company TO make a statement of accounts:
that a master be appointed TO take charge
of the road, and the company be restrained
from mortgaging or selling any of its prop
elty until the ease can be disposed of. A
temporary injunction was granted until
Tuesday, when a final hearing will be had.

THE STRIKERS WEAKENING.
The Lumber Longshoremen to Resume
Work Tomorrow.


Work Tomorrow.
There was hitch in the settlement of the
longshoremen's strike yesterday, but it was
insignificant and will not interfere with an
agreement being reached tomorrow
The Captains would not consent to the
discharge of the men who had been en-
ployed in the longshoremen's places until
their week has expired. They were hired
for the week and the Captains wanted them
to get weeks work Tomorrow the
stevedores will be ready TO take back the
old men, and those who desire to return to
work will be permitted to do so. The steve
dores. however, do not intend to give in to
the demand that gang of fourteen men
shall be worked all the time. They are
decided that they will employ only what
men they want and no more.
The indications are that the longshoremen
will give up trying to force this demand, as
they are receiving great concessions in the
matter of wages, and the consent of the
stevedores not to work any more sailors
It is also probable because they want to go
back to work and they cannot do so Unless
they give up that idea
